Overview of external readers and the Altair Binary Format, the generic ASCII reader, running applications in batch mode, using Tcl/Tk commands, translators, and result math.
A generic ASCII reader is now available which allows you to bring custom results directly into HyperView. The AltairASCII format is useful for reading the results of any in-house or propriety codes which are saved in a generic format.
External resources can be registered in preference files, session files, or Templex files. If an external resource is registered in a program session, it is automatically registered in the session
file when the session is saved.
This API allows external applications to link HyperMesh as a library and provides a limited set of functions and structures to access specific functionality.
Returns the transformation matrix between the global model coordinate system and the original local system of the model
part represented by the model assembly hierarchy document.
This section contains details on general HyperWorks scripting concepts, along with documentation on the Tcl commands that can be used to query and modify the database and GUI.

HM_ExtAPI::CADDocumentGetFileName()
Returns the complete path to the CAD model file, from which the model assembly hierarchy document was imported.
HM_ExtAPI::CADDocumentGetFirstChild()
Returns the first child of the document in the model assembly hierarchy of the CAD model loaded into the database.
HM_ExtAPI::CADDocumentGetLinkName()
Returns the name of the link used as a reference to the model assembly hierarchy document in the assembly hierarchy tree.
HM_ExtAPI::CADDocumentGetLocalSystem()
Returns the transformation matrix between the global model coordinate system and the original local system of the model part represented by the model assembly hierarchy document.
HM_ExtAPI::GenerateMesh()
Generates a mesh on surfaces of the model loaded into the HyperMesh database, using mesh areas and constraint edges and points.
HM_ExtAPI::GetRootCADDocument()
Returns the root document in the model assembly hierarchy of the CAD model loaded into HyperMesh database.
HM_ExtAPI::GetRootCADDocumentsCount()
Returns the number of root documents in the model assembly hierarchy for each CAD model loaded into HyperMesh database.
HM_ExtAPI::SetScratchFolder()
Turns on or off generation of log files by different components used within HyperMesh, and sets the folder to redirect output of these files.
